A Journey That Begins with a Smile 😊

1. A Path That Grows with Them

Smiling International School is designed as a continuous journey — a bridge that gently guides children from the Sezione Primavera all the way to the threshold of their future, up to High School.
Through shared projects and meaningful interactions between different age groups, a strong sense of belonging naturally develops. Ours is a big family, where familiar faces feel like home and every relationship helps build a true community.

2. The World in Two (or Rather, Three!) Languages

In our bilingual environment, English and Italian blend seamlessly and joyfully throughout the day.
And to prepare for the future, in their final year children are introduced to the beauty of Chinese language and culture — an exciting bridge toward primary school and beyond.

3. Global Citizens from the Very Beginning

We experience internationality every single day.
With teachers and families from all over the world, and by celebrating global traditions and holidays, our children grow surrounded by the richness of diversity — transforming curiosity into openness and respect for others.

4. Little Astronauts with the Moonshot Project

We are proud to be the first school in Italy to bring the excellence of the Houston Space Center into the classroom.
Adapted for young learners, this unique program sparks curiosity about the unknown and turns science into a daily adventure.

5. Beyond the Classroom: Green Spaces, Field Trips, and a Love for Our Planet

We teach children to care for the world they live in, both inside and outside the school.
Through field trips around the city and collaborations with local organizations, our children become active changemakers and thoughtful guardians of the future.

They engage in creative recycling projects, initiatives with partners such as HERA, and activities dedicated to endangered species and solidarity, all of which help them develop a deep sense of responsibility and respect for the planet.

5+1. Smiling Family

We deeply care about building meaningful relationships with our families, sharing special moments with them and encouraging their active involvement in our activities.

Our goal is to foster mutual enrichment by welcoming them as an integral part of our educational journey.
